Paella compared with other options
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so queues move quickly. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Ore? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
What happens on the day
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. Summer events in Ore have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.

Your questions about festival paella catering in Ore
How far is Ore from London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could we have live paella in Speckled Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
How much does festival paella catering cost in Ore?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Send us the details, and we’ll reply with our availability and what we need.
Can you feed our volunteers?
We can. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Will there be long queues?
Service from the pan is fast, ideal for peak times.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
